On Sunday, The New York Times reported on “extremely troubling” claims by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials detained “dozens” of Iranian-Americans attempting to return to the country through a Washington State-Canadian border crossing. But CBP says that the premise of the “troubling” claims about their alleged handling of Iranian-Americans is “false.”
According to CAIR, over 60 Iranian-American travelers attempting to return to the United States from Canada over the weekend were detained for several hours for additional questioning, and some allegedly were even turned away by officials, at least initially.
